Pats Pulpit Reacts: What grade do the Patriots get in free agency?

April 11, 2025 by Pats Pulpit


Plus, how many games will they win in 2025?

The New England Patriots entered free agency with more money to spend and more holes to fill than anyone else. Under Mike Vrabel’s leadership, the team used that money to begin to mold the team to his image.

Key additions included bolstering the front seven with defensive tackle Milton Williams, edge defenders Harold Landry and K’lavon Chaisson, and linebackers Robert Spillane and Jack Gibbens. The addition of cornerback Carlton Davis added a veteran option across from Christian Gonzalez.

On offense, the Patriots added veteran right tackle Morgan Moses to help protect Drake Maye and star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to give him a target in the passing game. Receiver Mack Hollins also adds some proven depth at the position.

In addition to the signings, the Patriots said goodbye to some key pieces in the locker room. Captains David Andrews and Ja’Whaun Bentley were released with failed physical designations after injuries sustained last season.

While the team will add key pieces in the NFL Draft, most of the 2025 roster has taken shape. Are the moves enough for the Patriots to win at least eight games for the first time since 2023? And how do you grade the team’s free agent period?
